I felt shameless

I had somehow imagined that like is not so boring unless you make it so
You study to get into better college
You study in college to get a good job

but then how do you define a good job
Hmm a good salary package (may be yes , may be no - forget this discussion here)

Was i born to write some stupid lines of code?
Which simply make sense to none (not even to me?)
Was this for what i have wasted 16-18 years in college?

I feel it is a vicious circle
Escaping from this may be next to impossible

But there are other ways to be spiritually active
Go for good books and good cinema
They somehow keep your inner self active and rational

Recently I saw Blood Diamond
I felt somehow life is just more than office and home to and fro circle

Some of us are really unlucky to even get there basic needs fulfilled
When we simply comment of food in restaurants
In my heart I feel, some are not privileged to even have enough to eat

People around you teach you so much
Some days back I was in rickshaw and needed to reach home fast
I was after rickshaw guy so that he would move little fast

While getting down from rickshaw I saw he did not have legs,
I was in tears; he was supposed to return me some bucks
I simply did not have courage to see him struggling so that he can reach to his purse to get the coins
I felt shameless
I felt disgusting
I left the place that very moment
he kept shouting
"madam aap ka paise "
